The Huzzler Launch Arena is finally live 🥳

Hello everyone! I am very excited to announce the release of the Huzzler Launch Arena!

It's a weekly competition where you can submit projects and compete in a week-long battle to get as many votes as possible.

🏆 Why join the Launch Arena?

• Top 3 projects are pinned for a full week at the top of the page (= lots of free traffic to your app)
• A gold / bronze / silver badge
• A Platinum / Diamond / Legendary status badge for 100, 500 or 1000 votes

How it's different from product hunt:

• Competition resets weekly
• Made for smaller startups / indie hackers
• Full integration with Huzzler Community
• I'm adding systems to prevent false votes (will be very strict)
• You can't pay for votes or pay to get to the top of the list, it's a fair competition

Join the Huzzler Launch Arena here: https://huzzler.so/arena

I kindly invite everyone reading this to join. It took a lot of work to create this and any feedback (good or bad) is greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot guys! 😁

I'm curious to know how much time you guys spend on building your side projects.

Hey everyone!

I'm new to the startup space and looking to learn from you all.

Currently, I'm working on a simple Code Snippet Manager to help developers store and organize their reusable code snippets. It’s still in the early MVP stage, and I’d love to get some feedback from the community.

Right now, the focus is on:

• Quickly saving and retrieving snippets
• A clean, distraction-free interface
• Syntax highlighting for Python, HTML, and CSS

I’m curious—what features would make a tool like this truly useful for you? Would you prefer a minimal offline version or something cloud-based with sharing options?

If you’ve built or used similar tools before, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Any feedback or suggestions would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance! 

I'm curious to know how you guys are handling the marketing of you app(s)? Do you do paid advertisements? Do you contact businesses directly?

Hi everyone,

Glad to be joining this well designed space.

Bit about me

• indie since 2023
• chemical engineer by training (former bioengineer)
• polyglot -> inspiration behind a half-dead language learning saas (Llanai)

Currently building RealReview.Space to give makers exposure to experts in their niche through a minimalist user feedback system.

1. Anyone can submit a product and get either 5 or 10 pieces of feedback.
2. Each feedback is signed off with the reviewer's name and do-follow product url.
3. The product url is tied to a certain niche(s), which then increases the quality of the backlink by the crawler.

I handpick most reviewers, based on the quality of their work.

Tech Stack

• NextJS (Typescript)
• shadcn/ui
• Supabase
• Resend
• Stripe
• Vercel
• Windsurf (my copilot)

Hey guys!

I’m the builder behind Flowtica, an AI tool that’s all about keeping things simple and helping you stay in your flow. 

Just talk to it—say whatever’s on your mind—and it’ll sort your words into to-dos, ideas, or meeting notes. No fuss, no extra steps, just you focusing on what matters.

It’s perfect for all sorts of people and moments: studying, working, jotting down a grocery list while driving, or keeping track of your next tasks.

We just launched a long voice recording feature that’s awesome for meetings or workshops—capturing key points and action items so you don’t have to split your focus.

I’m looking for early testers to give it a spin and share some thoughts. If you’re into voice-driven tools or want to help shape something new, join us! Hop over to our website to get started.

Excited to hear what you think—your feedback will make Flowtica even better!:)

Hello everyone. I'd love to hear some of your opinions on this early version of Huzzler.

1. What features would make this most valuable for you as an indie hacker?
2. Would you use this platform to share your projects and get feedback?
3. What's missing that would make you want to join and participate?
4. Any suggestions on how to build a thriving, supportive community?

I will consider all your ideas and feedback! I also want to thank all of our early active members, particularly @harvansh and @samm.

Thank you so much!

So, I’m working on a simple tool that tracks competitor SaaS pricing changes and sends alerts when they tweak their plans. No more manually checking 10 different pricing pages.

✅ Scrapes publicly available pricing pages (legally).

✅ Stores historical data to track trends.

✅ Sends alerts via email when a price changes.

Thinking of making it a small indie SaaS with a free plan for tracking 1 competitor and paid tiers for more.

Would this be useful for anyone running a SaaS? 🤔

Or it's my another failed SAAS idea??😁😜

Yo!

I've just released the first actual usable slice over at https://docsforge.app

This first slice allows you to generate a single customer facing help doc from 1-5 React files.

Check it out, and let me know what you think!

I invite all members to join the Huzzler Discord. It will be a positive community where we all provide feedback and help each other grow. You can join here: https://discord.gg/rjyj5hj7cW

Everyone is welcome!

Thanks guys

I can't decide between these two versions of the USPs for huzzler. The first explain Huzzler and are to the point.

The second variant is longer but explains it better.

Thanks for the feedback!

I was recently reading a Google doc called "The $1M MVP" by Pat Walls and just realised how insanely valuable it is for founders. It contains concrete information on what to do and what not to do when building an MVP and takes like 15 minutes to read. It will save you years of time and headache.

Check it out here: https://x.com/thepatwalls/status/1856341863910760727

To just give an example, check out the excerpt from the doc below:

For example, let’s say you want to build an iPhone app. 

Option 1:

- Spend 6 months building an app

- Bang your head against the wall figuring out the tech, authentication, App store approval etc etc

- Take wild guesses at what features to build and hope for the best.

- Launch the app and hope for the best

- No customers, THEN you have to figure out marketing (which could take another 6 months).

- A year later, you MIGHT have a validated idea, but you might not.

Result: 12+ months of work, potentially nothing to show for it.

Option 2:

- In 24 hours create a landing page about your upcoming app. 

- You share that landing page with your network, online, and to potential customers

- The landing page collects emails through a waitlist. 

- You reach out to those customers and ask them about the most important features for them.

- You ask these customers what features they would pay for.

- You know exactly what features to build.

- You build up a strong waitlist

- Then you build the app in 1 month, and potentially have paying customers on Day 1, and you know it’s already validated.

Result: In 24 hours, you got enough information that helped inform your decision to build even further.

The MVR mindset is kind of like a “fake it til you make it” approach.

Sell the dream first, with a super stripped down approach. You don’t need all of the fancy stuff. Fancy logo, growth strategy, all the features, just focus on getting information.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been building Unrealshot AI – an AI-powered photoshoot generator that creates high-quality portraits from your selfies. No studio, no expensive cameras—just AI doing the work.

I know AI-generated photos can be a hit or miss, and that’s why I’m looking for honest feedback—good, bad, or brutally honest. If you’re up for testing it, I’d love to hear:

• How realistic are the images?
• Was the experience smooth or frustrating?
• What would make it better?

If you’re interested, let me know, and I’ll set up a free account with some credits so you can try it out. Just looking for real, unfiltered opinions!

Drop a comment or DM me if you're in.

Try it here: www.unrealshot.com

Hey guys. I just added notifications to Huzzler. What do you think about the notification dropdown design? Would you change / improve anything?

Thanks!

For anyone who needs to moderate user generated content: OpenAI offers a free Moderation API. It can can be used to filter out harmful images or content and I'm using it to moderate Huzzler (and it works great).

Thought this may come in handy for some of you.

Hello Huzzler community!

I built SmoothLines because I was tired of constantly tweaking AI prompts just to get a decent opening line or reply for dating app chats - and other similar tools were not satisfying.

Let me know if you have any feedback.

Thanks for checking it out.

Cheers Lucas

My team and I are building Metaport and we published our first promotional video to YouTube last week. It took about two weeks to produce with several script and animation iterations and edits, but we're super happy with it - and with zero AI!

But what do you think?

• Is the product's offering clear?
• Is the product's target audience clear?
• What would you change when we next update it?

Thanks heaps!

Good morning everyone. Today I'm working on adding some guidelines to Huzzler (category specific rules and general community rules). The goal of this is to increase the quality of the content and make sure the posts are in the correct category.

An AI will analyse every post and assign some scores to it: e.g. "wrong_category_probability", "spam_probability", "rule_violation_probability" and then a mod can easily filter and remove spam posts or move posts to a better category.

What do you think about this? Any other guidelines / rules I should add?

Thanks a lot guys!

I've been coding with Cursor AI for a while and it's awesome. But I still want to improve my workflow. Like when should you use agent vs chat mode, how to give it the right context?

Hi, I am Luka, I am building Directonaut, a Marketing Accelerator as a Software for Indiehackers.

Have you ever thought: Marketing is difficult?

I am building a tool to provide clear guidance on:

• how to improve your website
• how to find your target personas
• how to market your startup

The app itself is AI-based, combined with my own marketing knowledge and a system I created and which I am validating right now.

I am happy about feedback!

Hello everyone! I want to thank all our first users for signing up and providing feedback. I'm currently processing all feedback and updating the site regularly. All feedback is appreciated!

The next thing I am adding to Huzzler is a content moderation system to make sure all categories have quality content. Self promotion will only be allowed in the #showcases category.

Also coming up is a notification system, so you know when someone replied to your post.

Thanks again everyone for signing up!

Hey, I’m Harvansh. I’m here to share the real, unfiltered journey behind Unrealshot AI. This isn’t a polished pitch—it’s a story of trial, learning, and the moments that changed everything.

Back in 2022, I started out blogging about AI. My WordPress site looked more like a digital mishmash than a professional platform, all thanks to free YouTube tutorials and a lot of DIY spirit. With no budget to hire professionals, I had to become the talent myself—even if it meant patching things together with whatever I had.

In 2023, I dove into building websites for small business owners. I was not only designing and coding but also experimenting with emerging AI tools. I used platforms like ChatGPT and Claude to speed up development, learning on the job and gradually refining my skills in both design and functionality.

Then something transformative happened. Tools like v0, Claude, and ChatGPT weren’t just assistants—they became an extension of my own creativity. I began outsourcing my brain to AI. Instead of starting every project from scratch, these tools handled the heavy lifting, allowing me to focus on what mattered: the vision.

I built countless web apps using these AI tools, each one teaching me new ways to streamline processes and push creative boundaries. This was more than just efficiency—it was a paradigm shift in how I worked and created.

In October ’24, with a solid foundation built on real-world experience and a powerful toolkit of AI, I launched Unrealshot AI. The goal was simple yet ambitious: to create an AI photoshoot generator that’s actually useful.

Unrealshot AI isn’t about canned templates or generic styles. It’s a tool that lets you generate images that capture your true self. By blending my years of photography with the precision of AI, Unrealshot AI offers a way to produce natural, personalized photos that work for both casual use and professional needs.

• Personal Touch: It all started with my own journey in photography and web design. Every feature in Unrealshot AI is designed to reflect that hands-on experience.
• AI-Powered Efficiency: Using advanced AI tools meant that I could focus on creativity while the tech handled the rest.
• Real Results: Unlike other photo generators that produce over-processed images, Unrealshot AI is all about authenticity—capturing genuine expressions and natural lighting.

This journey is far from over. I’m constantly refining Unrealshot AI, listening to user feedback, and exploring new ways to blend art with technology. If you’re curious about how this all works or want to try out a tool that truly understands you, I invite you to check out Unrealshot AI.

Thanks for reading my story—every step of this journey has been about finding real, useful solutions, and I’m excited to see where AI takes us next.

Yo team!

I’m building a product that generates customer facing help documentation directly from code.

Give it context of the feature, what your product does, and the components that relate to the feature and it will generate a customer facing help doc for that feature.

Eventually it will integrate directly with your code repo, so each time code changes, a new version of your docs will get drafted.

I'm about to add a pay as you go version that allows you to generate a single help doc from 5 files for a small fee ($2.99).

Looking for feedback on:

• Value prop of the waitlist
• Waitlist page in general
• Monetisation plan, pre-launch

Check the waitlist here: https://docsforge.app

Hello all new members. I’m eager to know what you are working on. Let me know and I’ll provide some feedback 😉

Hey everyone

Just wanted to share my project: theuseful.website

I was tired of searching the web for simple and useful tools/websites, as mostly I came to some kind of blogpost or GitHub repo, and they are all very hard to navigate.

So I decided to create this small directory. I also would like to use it to boost communities like this. So feel free to share with me your websites or your feedback.

Cheers

I feel like more people should be using DaisyUI. I've used it over 5 projects and its simply amazing. DaisyUI adds component class names to Tailwind CSS, providing you with all sorts of components such modals, cards, avatars, carousels, you name it. It's ridiculously easy to use and very powerful.

Take for example uncapped.ai. It's an AI wrapper with 30+ themes. I've implemented this in only 5 minutes with daisyUI. With any other library, this would take me ages.

How do you guys come up with new ideas? Is it an active process or more like a passive process?

It's a tool to capture product feedback, feature requests, organize them in a public/private roadmap with voting, and send changelogs.

Built this because I have worked in 4 SaaS companies and feedback is all over the place: Slack DMs, spreadsheets, random emails, etc.

Hello guys. I created groop.cc. It's a free tool that makes it easier to plan group activities, vacations, events. I focused the entire app on making the experience as easy and smooth as possible.

To get started, go to groop.cc, create a groop and send the link to your friends. Your friends can then freely enter their available times on the calendar.

I created it because I got tired of the constant back and forth messaging in the group chat to see who is available at what time when trying to plan a holiday or meeting.

The big difference with other tools like Doodle is that instead of voting on predefined dates, everyone can freely add their dates to a calendar. Making it a handy tool for events that may have variable times (Eg. a summer vacation).

It's completely free and I don't have a paid tier. Maybe I'll add that in the future, but for now, I make no money from this.

Feel free to test it out. Thanks!

Hello everyone!

A few months ago, I learned about ChatGPT "wrapper" apps. A ChatGPT wrapper is basically an interface for ChatGPT (or other popular models) that allows you to use your own API key.

The main benefit of using a wrapper is that you will have lower costs and get to use the latest models. This is because with most wrappers, you buy them once and then you use AI models at API prices, which are usually very low.

For instance, ChatGPT plus costs about $20 a month.

When I use uncapped and ask about 100 questions daily to the latest model, my bill would be around $3 per month. And when I don't use it for a month, my bill is $0.

But to get back to the main point, I was looking for a wrapper which had a memory. Which is a handy feature of ChatGPT; it remembers stuff from previous conversations.

The main benefit is that you get way more accurate responses and it remembers where you are from, what you are working on,..

However, the problem was that there was no ChatGPT "wrapper" app with a memory. So that's why I've created Uncapped AI.

It runs fully locally on device, is a one-time payment and all data stays on the user's device.

In addition to the memory, it has the following features:

• You can install it as a desktop or mobile app for top notch experience
• Configure default chat profiles with instructions
• Configure default context to send with your requests
• Choose between 30+ themes

It's a tool for "power users" but also regular users who chat with AI a lot and know to work with API keys. This right now is a first version, which is going to be updated daily.

Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks guys
